Ooni Of Ife Reacts To Fire Incident At The Palace Of Oba Of Lagos

The Ooni of Ife’s camp has reacted to the fire
incident at the palace of the Oba of on Tuesday.

An official has described the incident as a sad
one and revealed the palace is not happy with the
incident.

The spokesperson of the Ooni’s palace, Moses
Olafare, told PREMIUM TIMES that the Ife
monarch, Enitan Ogunwusi, is unhappy with the
fire incident.

“We are not happy over the fact that the palace
of Lagos king got burnt, we can only sympathise
with the palace on the development,” he said.

“People are entitled to their own views,” he said.
“But what people say doesn’t mean that is the
position of the palace.”

Recall we earlier reported about the fire incident
at the Lagos monarch’s palace. The fire occurred
about one week after a video showed the Lagos
monarch, Rilwan Akiolu, snub the Ooni.
There have been rumours on social media that
Tuesday’s fire was caused by the snub, reports
denied by Mr. Olafare.

“What happened is mere coincidence and should
not be traced to the incident in Lagos, we send
our sympathies,” he added.
